In an industry where just about anyone can make one good track and be considered a relevant lyricist and budding star. it should come as no surprise that the man that is most known for his sitcom's and his pudding, is about to take a dip into the rap game.

The one and only Bill Cosby has made a rap album, and its no fluke. He has guest appearances from, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, William Patterson and Miles Davis.

This album is as serious as it gets!

But what makes this album interesting besides the fact that it's Bill Cosby's album, is that he wont actually be rapping on any of the tracks. Instead he has recruited some big names in the game to do most of the brunt work, while he stay's in the background as a writer and producer for the 14-track album titled State of Emergency.

Yes, this is indeed what will be happening when the legendary comedian drops Bill Cosby Presents the Cosnarati: State of Emergency, a 14-track effort designed to bring awareness and social consciousness to troubling issues in hip-hop culture.

During an interview with "The Boom Box", Cosby discussed the concept of this album as well as its direction. While trying to move it away from being categorized as a clean album.

“I don’t like referring to the music as clean, what I like is what you’re not going to do. You’re not going to curse. You’re not going to put women down. You’re not going to put the glory of the gun somewhere. And you’re not going to put a whole lot of violence up front like that’s the thing that will cleanse you and make you feel better.”

State of Emergency will follow the route that many artist are taking now, and be released digitally on November 24th via Avery Ennis LLC. But if fans are interested in getting a sneak peak of what will be on the album, they can stream songs right now from billcosby.com.
